I guess if I took some time, I could probably figure out what "these"
are. This seems to have something to do with command line quoting,
obviously. And, you want to plug it into cygwin somewhere.
But I'm sorry to say that I'm not going to take time to investigate
hundred of lines of code, especially when I have no clear idea what
it's for.
If this is intended to replace one of cygwin's quoting methods, it's
unlikely that I'd consider doing that without an extremely compelling
rationale for doing so. "It doesn't handle all of the cases that MSVC
does" is *not* a reason for throwing everything away, btw.
Sorry,
Chris
